IF WE CAN HAVE A BANNER WARNING ABOUT SCAMMERS...SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS CAN TOO!
IF WE CAN HAVE A BANNER WARNING ABOUT SCAMMERS...SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS CAN TOO!
Survivors of online romance scams provided the photos below. The people in the pictures are NOT the scammers but identity theft victims. Their images have been stolen and used to scam innocent people online by the thousands. Because those in the photos are also victims involving the crimes of financial, emotional, and psychological deceit/abuse, we will not be giving out their real names or personal information. A high majority of those whose photos were stolen are aware. Unfortunately, Social Media companies are of little to no help when removing the fake accounts after reporting or adhering to copy-write infringement (See AARS reports here). Therefore, we continue to see the stolen photos used repeatedly, not for the "real" person in the photo's lack of reporting or the lack of making the companies aware of the impersonation issue.
If you recognize a photo as being yours or your loved ones' scammer, please report the crime to the FBI Cybercrime unit at IC3.gov or the law enforcement cyber crime department in your area.
Finally, we ask that if you find the "real" person in the photo, please respect their privacy and understand they are also victims. Each image below is marked to prevent scammers from stealing and performing additional criminal activity.
*Disclaimer: Those whose photos are seen on this site and wish to not have their photo posted for educational purposes, are welcome to reach out to AARS for removal.
